We have great news at Welcome to Ireland!!! Now the blog will be bilingual. For those who follow us in Portuguese everything continues the same. But in order to have more people being able to read our posts, there will also be the option of English. As time goes by we will be translating all the blog content into English.

Cobh is a small town around 20 km from Cork (and 260 km from Dublin) known for being Titanic's last port of call before its fateful shipwreck. Some passengers came down, and others went up. And to know exactly how everything happened, you can visit Cobh Titanic Experience, a museum with a lot of interactivity and interesting information about one of the most dramatic shipwreck on the 20th century.

Another curiosity is that the town had 3 different names! The first was Cove. In 1849 with Queen Victoria's visit it started being called Queenstown and from 1921 onwards it went back to its origin, but with a different spelling. With the such Queen's visit, the town got this beautiful square located in the city centre.

In Cobh you can also find The Queenstown Story, an important museum that shows how the Irish migration happened. Through the town's harbor, thousands of people migrated to countries like the USA, Canada and Australia. But we will talk about it in more details in another post.
